How come no one diddles anymore?

[Medulla Omoplata]

I don't think it's fair this word got taken away by some pervy folks. We need to take it back. It's a great word, fun to say. Diddle.

did·dle
ˈdidl/
verb
informal

1. 1.
   cheat or swindle (someone) so as to deprive them of something.
   "he thought he'd been diddled out of his change"
   • 
     
2. 2.
   NORTH AMERICAN
   pass time aimlessly or unproductively.
   "why diddle around with slow costly test

It's fun to say, and has plenty of every day uses.

1) "Dude I worked so hard on my essay and the I ony got a C+, that paper was worth at least a B. That teacher diddled me so hard."

2) "I'm bored, do you wanna go diddle for a bit down at the park?"

Let's take this word back! Try and fit it in to your conversations today!

I diddled one of my bosses nieces at a job I had in college. He was pissed but she was 3 years older than me and witnesses told him I was “seduced” lol

You are using that word wrong, perpetuating a negative sexual connotation instead of it''s true wholesome roots. You are part of the problem.

I was able to slide it into conversation when capital expenditures was mentioned.

"Why are we diddling around and spending money to repair the old one at 80% the cost of new that will come with a service contract?"

 

[HomeRun916]

Sounds sexual, in a very underage way.

I hope you're serious.

That's society's fault. As you can see by the definitions I posted there is nothing sexual about it at all.

Are you going to bring f*g back as well? It's just a bundle of sticks.

Do you often have opportunity to discuss bundles of sticks? Perhaps I just don't hang in the right circles but it rarely comes up in conversation for me, and I feel like trying to rope it in would come off more like an edgy 14-year old who just learned that word has other means rather than someone trying to reclaim the original meaning of a perfectly useful word. But what do I know, I'm just some schmuck sitting here diddling at work.

Dead in the middle of Little Italy little did we know that we riddled two middlemen who didn't do diddly!
